The planning area is in northwest Ohio and home to approximately 570,000 residents who are spread across 66 cities, towns, and villages. Many residents choose this area because they appreciate the option to live in either an urban core or a rural atmosphere. In this region, it is common for residents and visitors alike to travel to and from locations in their vehicles. While transit services and bicycle and pedestrian amenities are available, the easiest and quickest route, is often in a car. With many people traveling by this mode, crashes can occur, impacting families, friendships and the fabric of the region. Between 2014 and 2018, approximately 17,734 transportation-related crashes occurred per year in the two counties (referred to as “the region” in the rest of the document). An average of 57 people lost their lives, 495 were seriously injured and 41,483 people were involved in a crash each year, during that five-year span. Severe crashes are preventable, but it takes an understanding of where and why they are occurring to diagnose the problems and present proven solutions. The 2019-2023 Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) Transportation Safety Plan presents solutions to the most challenging safety issues in the region, ensuring everyone can go about their daily lives, but also arrive home safely. Crash data were reviewed with stakeholders to understand: • Crash Trends—How fatal and serious injury crashes have trended over the past five years. This also included a review of crashes by jurisdiction and by roadway type. • Safety Performance—How fatal and serious injury crashes could be reduced and to what extent, through the implementation of proven solutions. • Crash Types—What types of crashes (i.e., rear end) are over-represented in the region. • Contributing Factors—What types of crash contributors (i.e., alcohol impairment) are over-represented in the region. • Locations—The segments and intersections in the region that experience more crashes on average than other locations and could be reviewed further for safety improvements. 2 TMACOG Transportation Safety Plan Executive Summary Local transportation and safety stakeholders met twice to review the crash data and provide input into what is now the foundation of this plan. This document represents the best approach to lowering fatalities and serious injuries in the region, including: • Vision, Goal and Objectives providing a framework for identifying safety programs, projects and policies. • Three emphasis areas, Young Drivers, Intersections and Distracted Drivers, identifying the biggest safety challenges in the region. • An Action Plan, identifying locations, outlining programmatic and project solutions and showing stakeholders where to focus their time and resources to make the most difference. 3 TMACOG Transportation Safety Plan 2 TRANSPORTATION SAFETY PARTNERS Lucas and Wood counties have a wide range of transportation and safety stakeholders, working to reduce fatalities and serious injuries. Representatives from the following agencies and jurisdictions came together on two occasions to inform the contents of this plan. The goal will be ongoing coordination to implement the safety solutions in this plan and lower transportation-related fatalities and serious injuries. • AAA of Northwest Ohio • Mercy Health—Trauma • City of Maumee • Ohio Department of Transportation District 2 • City of Oregon • Perrysburg Township • City of Rossford • Safe Communities • City of Sylvania • Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority • City of Toledo • Toledo Children’s Hospital • CT Consultants • Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments • DLZ • Toledo Police Department • Educational Service Center of Lake Erie West • We Are Traffic • Lucas County • Wood County • Mannik & Smith Group 4 TMACOG Transportation Safety Plan INTRODUCTION— Setting the Stage SECTION CONTENT: Transportation Safety Planning Lucas and Wood County Transportation Safety Vision Goals & Objectives 3 INTRODUCTION—SETTING THE STAGE 3.1 TRANSPORTATION SAFETY PLANNING Ohio has an average of 1,000 transportation-related fatalities every year. A national strategy called Toward Zero Deaths, driven and supported by transportation, enforcement, local Government, educators, health professionals and emergency response associations, concludes that even if it is unclear when fatalities will reach zero, even one death on the transportation network is A SOLUTION—ROAD SAFETY PLAN unacceptable. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) has ODOT recognizes the need to address adopted this strategy and is working toward solutions to ensure crash statistics and is encouraging the everyone is safe on Ohio’s transportation network. development of Regional Safety Plans to reduce them. One effective solution to achieve this vision is a local road safety plan (LRSP). This type of plan empowers local and regional transportation The TMACOG Transportation Safety agencies to organize stakeholders; review crash data to understand Plan provides a framework for the unique safety challenges in their areas; and customize solutions, identifying, analyzing and prioritizing or countermeasures, that will be effective based on the local context. roadway safety improvements. The TMACOG Transportation Safety Plan followed a similar approach Upon completion, local stakeholders will have a prioritized list of strategies and to develop multi-disciplinary safety solutions. The planning process projects that will be eligible for ODOT focused on the fact that motor vehicle-related crashes can be safety funding. prevented. In some instances, roadway features can be improved to limit the severity of crashes; in others, stopping people from engaging in unsafe behaviors is key. However, in most cases, it is both. To reduce crashes related to infrastructure and driver error, state and local stakeholders identified proven strategies, actions, programs and projects.

  • Crawford County Health Needs Assessment
    2016 Crawford County & Galion City Community Health Status Assessment Commissioned by: Released May 16, 2016 FOREWORD Dear Community Member, Thank you for your concern for the health and well-being of Crawford County and the City of Galion. The data presented in this publication is the result of the 2015 health and needs status assessment of Crawford County and City of Galion adults. The data collected from Crawford County and Galion residents is reported along with health information from the Ohio Department of Health and relevant national, state, and local data sources. FOREWO Monitoring the health status of local residents to identify community health problems is an essential public health service. This health and needs status assessment is invaluable because it serves as a guide for strategic planning and decision-making. It can help our community identify new health concerns, measure the impact of current community health improvement efforts, and guide the judicious use of local resources. However, this is only one planning tool. A true plan of action for community health improvement will require taking a closer look at these survey results; seeking additional information from community residents, service providers, and others; identifying population(s) at risk for specific health conditions; and choosing effective strategies that will truly improve the health of Crawford County and Galion residents when put into action. This report would not exist without the financial support of community organizations and assistance of community leaders who all care about your health. The project was supported financially by the following organizations: Avita Health System, City of Bucyrus, Crawford County Education & Economic Development Partnership, Community Foundation for Crawford County, Crawford County Public Health, Crawford-Marion ADAMH Board, and Galion City Health Department.

  • Economic Development, Land Use, and the System of Cities in Northwest Ohio During the Nineteenth Century
    CREATING CONNECTIONS: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, LAND USE, AND THE SYSTEM OF CITIES IN NORTHWEST OHIO DURING THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Matthew D. Bloom A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2009 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor David Shoemaker Graduate Faculty Representative Edmund J. Danziger, Jr. Timothy F. Messer-Kruse © 2009 Matthew D. Bloom All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Examining how economics, geography, and politics interacted in the expansion and economic changes within the United States, this dissertation investigated the symbiotic relationships and their qualities among the economic transformations of an urban area and its surrounding hinterland throughout the nineteenth century. Specifically, it investigated how the economic and population changes within Toledo, Ohio, molded the development of agricultural hinterlands and how the condition and settlement of the surrounding rural areas shaped the economic changes of Toledo. The quality of transportation connections among Toledo and other nascent towns, market interactions among residents, and the relationships between land quality and usage provided for symbiotic economic development of urban areas and rural hinterlands. The ability to use certain transportation infrastructures, the condition of land, and the availability of natural resources determined the type, quantity, and strength of market connections among people, which influenced the amount and forms of economic change for the area. Conclusions of this study were drawn from analyzing census records, newspaper advertisements and editorials, agricultural reports, and business records and literature. This research introduced a new paradigm of regional economic change named the “subregional model” which included a hub, local economic centers, small villages and farms, and links of various qualities.

  • Section 2: County Profile
    Section 2: County Profile Location Lucas County encompasses 343.43 square miles at the western tip of Lake Erie in northwest Ohio, bordering the southern boundary of the State of Michigan. (Figure 1) It was named for Governor Robert Lucas, who declared war on Michigan over a boundary dispute in 1835. When Ohio was admitted to the Union, no reference was made to its northern boundary. Both Ohio and Michigan claimed this western corner of Lake Erie. In 1836, the so called “Toledo War” was settled by the U.S. Congress, giving the disputed area to the State of Ohio. Interstate 80/90, US 20, and State Routes 2 and 64 cross the County east - west, and Interstate 75, US 23 and 24, and State Routes 51 and 295 run north - south. The Ottawa and Maumee Rivers flow through Lucas County. Toledo, the County seat, covers about 86 square miles of the County. The Port of Toledo provides access to both international and Great Lakes ports. Lucas County’s central location provides unparalleled access to major Midwest cities such as Chicago, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Columbus, St. Louis, Buffalo and Toronto. Over 93 million people live within a 500-mile radius of northwest Ohio, which comprises 38% of the US population and about 37% of US retail sales (Figure 2). According to the Lucas County Auditor’s Office, land use in Lucas County can be categorized as follows: Residential (72.8%), Commercial (22.1%), Industrial (3.95%), and Agricultural (1.2%). Due to its location on the west side of Lake Erie, the region enjoys the temperate effects from the Lake, while being spared the lake-effect winter weather often associated with the Great Lakes region.
